  • Isa 47:1-9 : 1 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for you will no longer be called tender and delicate. 2 Take a millstone and grind flour; remove your veil, strip off your train, uncover your legs, and cross the rivers. 3 Your nakedness will be uncovered, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no one. 4 Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name—the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit silently and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for you will no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms. 6 I was angry with My people, I profaned My heritage and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly. 7 You said, 'I will be a mistress forever,' but you did not take these things to heart or remember their outcome. 8 Now hear this, you pleasure-loving one, sitting securely, who says in her heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me; I will not sit as a widow, or know the loss of children.' 9 But these two things will come upon you in a moment, in one day: loss of children and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, despite your many sorceries and the great power of your spells. 10 You felt secure in your wickedness and said, 'No one sees me.' Your wisdom and your knowledge have led you astray, and you said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me.' 11 But disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to charm it away; calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off; and devastation will come upon you suddenly, without warning. 12 Persist then with your spells and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from your youth—perhaps you might succeed, perhaps you might cause terror. 13 You are wearied with your many counsels; let those who divide the heavens, those who gaze at the stars, those who announce the months, stand now and save you from what is coming upon you. 14 Behold, they are like stubble; fire consumes them. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coal for warming oneself, nor fire to sit before. 15 This is how it will be for those with whom you have labored, those who have traded with you from your youth; each one wanders to his own way—there is no one to save you.

No craftsman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of a bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again.
